Navigating Model Minority Stereotypes (eBook, ePUB)

Asian Indian Youth in South Asian Diaspora

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Though Asian Indians are typically thought of as a "model minority", not much is known about the school experiences of their children. This volume examines second generation (America-born) and 1.5 generation (foreign-born) Asian Indians as they try to balance peer culture, home life and academics. Focusing on migrant experiences of the Indian diasporas in the United States, this volume brings attention to highly motivated Asian Indian students who are overlooked because of their cultural dispositions and outlooks on schooling, and those students who are more likely to underachieve.
